Help Text Default Source Files

Also give careful consideration to what name you give to the file or files containing your help text.

When you specify a help text document for a menu option or program, you may specify the name of a file and library containing the document. If you leave the file and library blank, the default help text file will be used. The default help text file is set by the data areas YMHPFLA and YMHPLBA:

• YMHPFLA - specifies the name of the default help text file.
• YMHPLBA - specifies the name of the default help text file library.

Default versions of the data areas are provided in the Toolkit library. You are free to change the values of these, or to provide additional copies in other libraries.

If the YMHPFLA data area contains a value of QTXTSRC, and YMHPLBA contains a value of *LIBL, then the following text member names will be used:

Note: A member name must be specified when calling the help text display program from within an application program.
